    Hello .
    If anything, buy a Migomat, not an electrode welder.
    Greetings.

    Definitely only MIG / MAG as a colleague wrote.
    for a good Chinese, that should be enough.

    If you do not weld much, buy MIG with a non-gas wire. A lot cheaper, the bottle is falling off and storage.
    It's a bit worse (a bit, as some say), but it does. I slept on the doorsteps in the Nissan Micra car, the broken bumper in UAZ (only the holes were burnt at the electrode), small things home and it's OK.
    I bought the welding machine with a half-wire spool of wire (it is much more expensive than usual) and for a year, even half of it did not come out.

    Welding does not sell, so I do not care what you buy.
    In any case, it works with me.

    The self-shielding wire can be given to the welder as punishment.
    Never in life consciously by choice.

    I recently bought a Chinese inverter for PLN 850 and I will tell you that it works beautifully.
    The question when it breaks down remains unanswered :D

    If you want to have weaker welding comfort but absolute reliability, then buy a heavy transformer.
